Boneless chicken wings are popular treats for football games, parties and even holiday gatherings. If you want to make boneless wings with a twist, sweet boneless wings made with Cheerios will satisfy your craving. The Cheerios provide a sweet-but-subtle taste to the chicken. This meal is quick, easy to make and delicious.
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread a thin layer of vegetable oil or canola oil over a large cookie sheet.
2. Cut 4 chicken breasts into bite-size nuggets. The chicken will shrink as it is baked, so cut the pieces slightly larger than you want them to be after cooking.
3. Pour 6 cups MultiGrain Cheerios into a large zipper bag. Remove all air from the bag, then gently crush the cereal using both hands until no large chunks remain.
4. Pour half the crushed Cheerios into a medium-size bowl and the other half into another medium-size bowl. Add 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. black pepper and 2 tsp. onion powder to each bowl. Stir both mixtures until they are well blended.
5. Pour 2 cups honey chipotle barbecue sauce into a medium-size bowl. Add 2 or 3 drops Tabasco sauce, and stir well. Add 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and stir again until well blended.
6. Drop the chicken pieces into one of the bowls with the crushed Cheerios. Move them around until they are completely covered with the cereal crumbs.
7. Remove the chicken from the bowl, and place the nuggets in the bowl of barbecue sauce. Cover the nuggets with the barbecue sauce, then gently shake the nuggets so that excess sauce drips off.
8. Place the nuggets into the second bowl of crushed Cheerios. Coat them completely with crumbs, then position them on the cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
9. Bake the chicken for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn the nuggets over, and bake for another 10 minutes.
10. Remove the nuggets from the oven. Cut one of the nuggets in half to make sure it is completely cooked through (the inside should be all white with no pink and no extremely soft spots).
